Industry Challenges
Insurance companies face significant challenges, such as these, in the currently changing environment:
How does one participate profitably in the rapidly growing life and non life insurance companies? What is the impact of the financial crisis on the insurance industry? What are the future business models in life insurance? How can a company be lean today and still build the next generation operating model?
What are the levers for distribution excellence? How does an insurer manage multiple channels of distribution? Considering the established vs new channels, the profitable vs the not so profitable channels, and so on.
What are the changes in customers' thinking and behavior? As the economy matures and customers get more aware of their requirements, how does that impact the insurance needs of the customers as also their buying behavior? And hence, how do insurers organize to serve the more aware customers?
What is the implication of the move toward economic capital management (for example, Solvency II requirements)?
